What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

Nobody besides Última Ficha has reported this yet — we’re keeping an eye out for confirmation. Sonic the Hedgehog was left on the shelf and came back on top — every new announcement carries that weight. In the 30 days before this one, 8 other Sonic stories ran here.

Bottom line: Can’t call it yet — wait for more outlets to confirm before counting on it.
